题目/Title: Measuring China's Social Policy Progress; Initial Steps Toward Constructing an Index

内容简介/Abstract：

中国政府用于社会服务的公共支出逐年增长，并在诸多政策领域取得了显著成绩。然而，国家层面的统计数据并不能反映中国各省级政府的政绩差异。有鉴于此，本研究旨在创建一套关于中国社会政策的综合指数体系。我们希望这一体系最终可被用于全面一致的政策评估，并且可供跟踪观察地区政策导致的社会状况变化。在本次讲座中，我们将介绍社会政策指数的理论基础、操作概念和测量方法。我们还将展示这一指数的构建过程，以及初步的研究成果。

The Chinese government has raised public expenditure for social services in recent years, and made significant progress in many policy areas. However, national statistical data do not necessarily reflect different achievements at provincial level. This project aims to construct an index system indicating China's social policy effects. We hope this index system can be adopted for comprehensive and consistent policy evaluation, as well as continuous observation of social change driven by regional policies. In this seminar, we will introduce the theoretical basis, operational conceptualization, and measurement methods of the Social Policy Index and sub-indices. We will also show the construction procedure and some preliminary findings.
